hi vegasone,
I worked for FCA until recently, and cattle class seats on the aircraft are excellent. 33inch legroom leather seating compared to monarch at 29".
I went on a tester flight last year and they are a far more superior charter than any other airline and i have travelled both mytravel & monarch to Goa.

Hope this helps :)

vegasone,
we booked for the silver sands for Feb 2007 after looking around it. However we were shown around the bungalows which were fine. After seeing some dodgy reports on here we looked into it a bit closer (better late than never!) and realised that the rooms we had booked were not the bungalows, these were £7 per person per night extra. After we totted up the extra cost we found we could have the Phoenix for £15 less in total, so re-booked for the PP.
If you are still booking it at least the location is very good, people we spoke to complained about poor brakfast service etc although all said staff were friendly.
Travelled first choice "cattle class" last year with no problems at all, far superior to Monarch, but have booked star class this time as a treat.

usually you are the one giving advice and not asking for it :lol:

:) I would much rather fly with First Choice. I've just come back after flying with Monarch (for the 2nd time). The seats outbound were awful no room at all, on the way back I asked for a seat at the front - the first 7 rows are fine, so flight on the way back was ok, but the meals weren't good. Outbound Bahrain (get off), inbound Larnaca (stay on).I'm sure you'll enjoy either hotel, I'm just happy to go cheap and cheerful, I usually just get a flight and a room.
